My friend Aurora has been using the pill as a birth control method for about three years now. She pays $35 a month, for the prescription it comes out to over $420 per year. She complains about the high cost but does not want to ask her boyfriend for help paying for them because he claims is not his responsibility. Besides the worriedly hustle for of paying it every month she also has to remember to take it every day and puts up with all the side effects. Jessica Valenti author of He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut and 49 Other Double Standards Every Woman Should Know, complains that the birth control double standard exists for only one reason: sexism. She remarks “unfortunately, it is not only the onus of being protected that is on women, it is also the stigma attached to having sex.”(19) Nationwide women are affected by the sexist double-standards society puts on us for being sexually active. The responsibility women have regarding safety measures in their sex life should be shared with their partner. Valenti believes the job of being sexually responsible does not only lie with women; “Women will always have a disproportionate amount of responsibility when it comes to sex.”(18) She goes on to remark that because we are the ones who get pregnant we must be the ones who make sure we are protected from pregnancy. I have heard politicians say women have total control over the outcome of being sexually active. They maintain that we have access to all kinds of contraception to prevent unwanted pregnancy. My friend Suzy who is 25 years old is recently dating a man who has a very narrow mind I call him a cave man who does not support her at all. Instead of sustaining her choices he is always contradicting her. She made an appointment at the clinic to get the nuvaring, he almost made her cancel it because he was not going to pay for it; no one told him he was but he is making choices that do not belong to him. It is very...

...﻿Violence AgainstWomen in Canada
By: Sujicaa Sivakumaran
“More than 3,300 women are forced to sleep in an emergency shelter to escape domestic violence on any given day” (Statistics Canada, 2011)1. Violence againstwomen is present in many forms including domestic violence, rape, and sexual harassment. Such behaviours can stem from the idea that women deserve less social power, which in turn causes men to show their power and control over women in demeaning methods. This is an issue that has been ongoing in society up to today – dating back to the second wave of feminism. Through further analysis, the importance of the issue of violence againstwomen back in the second wave of feminism and which types of feminists were involved is determined. Whether or not violence againstwomen prevails today and how this issue has shaped feminism will also be further explored.
Violence againstwomen was an important issue to women during the second wave of feminism because during that time period, nothing was being done for abused women, which consequently left them with no escape from their situations. This issue caused both physical and emotional consequences for women as well as their children. Women would walk around the streets...

Birth Control Access to Teens
Not everyone is ready to be a mother. Even at almost 30 I can honestly say I am not sure I am ready. I have a steady job and good insurance so paying for my contraceptive comes easy. Not everyone is as lucky. I couldn’t image myself being a mother and being responsible for another life at the age of 15 or even younger. There are millions of girls out there who cannot afford the cost of birth control and do not have access to it. We cannot force them to abstain from sex but what we can do is make is easier for them to get a contraceptive and hopefully reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancies. Local pharmacies such as Walgreen’s, CVS and even the grocery store should provide free birth control to those who want it no questions ask. If contraceptives were more readily available the amount of unwanted and teen pregnancies would decrease. The cost and the numbers are shocking, the solution is simple.
Birth Control has been around since the 1920’s. Its main use is to prevent pregnancy but it has other benefits. It helps regulate women’s cycles, Can help against STD’s and other diseases such as syphilis and AIDS, it also can help a women be aware of her body. It helps reduce the risk of anemia, ovarian cysts, symptomatic endometriosis and helps to prevent osteoporosis....

...Republic due to their opposition to the then Dominican dictator, Rafael Trujillo. Therefore, to honor these heroic women, the United Nations General Assembly in 1999 designated this day as the day for the elimination of violence againstwomen. In our own country, there have been numerous Mirabel sisters, who have suffered abuse, victimization, torture and even death. At the domestic level, abuse of women is rife.
Forced marriages are still a form of torture prevalent throughout the country. Women are not considered ‘sound’ enough to make marital decisions for themselves and so a decision is made for them. This practice has been so common among Pakistani migrants to the United Kingdom that a Forced Marriages (Civil Protection) Act was enacted in 2007 by Westminster to give state protection to women who have suffered such abuse. Unfortunately, even though Pakistan is the source of almost all these forced marriages, we still have to enact a law along these lines.
Let us also not forget that the violence is not only physical and sexual, but also psychological. Verbally berating a woman because she is easier to target, taking away opportunities from her, domesticating her and not considering her opinion — are all ways of psychological torture which inhibit the freedom and development of women and lead to a deeply fractured society. -

...Catholic Religion AgainstBirth Control
The Catholic Church has had a ban on birth control from the earliest days of the
Bible. The catholics believe that birth control is absolutely wrong, and a grave sin. Birth
control has been around at least since the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans .
During these days birth control came in the form of animal skin condoms and various
poisons to be used as spermicides ("Catholic Church Birth Control."). Catholic believers
were told to receive every new born life as a gift from God.
The first ever mentioning on banning birth control is in the book of Genesis
38:8-10. The next mention on birth control being wrong is located in the book of
Deuteronomy 23:1 ("Catholic Church Birth Control."). Catholic families were told then to
actively seek in having as many children as they possibly can. The more children that
Catholic families have, the more Catholics there are to spread that way of life and to pay
the church's tithes.
The barrier methods of birth control, such as the condom, the cervical cap, the
birth control pill and Depo Provera are thought to interfere with the act of conception
("Epigee HOME."). Preventing the egg from being fertilized by a sperm may hinder a...

Doing section 1 for the Biology ISA tomorrow on how windspeed affects the rate of temperature loss through sweating. How is everyone feeling? I am confident, my mock ISA was very similar and we have had a lot of preparation for it.
I have one question, there will probably be section where you have to explain why you came up with your hypothesis. My hypothesis is that windspeed will affect the rate of temperature loss through sweating. But I have to explain why I came up with it. I basically have the main idea of it, but it is harder than I thought to actually explain it....
So my first question is: why does windspeed affect the rate of evaporation? (I basically know the answer, I just want to see what you guys come up with for a modular answer).
My second question is quite open really, has anyone got any good tips for the 9 mark method question? I've basically got a method outlined on the note sheet with all the details and explained thoroughly...
Thanks for your time

...suggestion is to reward impoverished women with monetary incentives for usingbirth control. Rewarding these women for showing a sense of responsibility and usingbirth control sends the wrong message however, and is not the right answer. The decision to give monetary incentives to impoverished women for usingbirth control goes against common sense, rewards irresponsibility, and would increase taxes, putting an even greater financial strain on every taxpayer excluding the wealthy upper class. Usingbirth control is not a brand new idea; on the contrary it is something most everyone with a little bit of common sense should know about. There are many different methods of birth control from simple forms such as condoms to the more complex and effective forms such as a shot or pills prescribed or administered by a health care professional. Birth control has proven to be effective, however no form, simple or complex is one hundred percent guaranteed. Abstinence is the only sure fire fool proof form of birth control there is; however in today's society very few people remain abstinent beyond the age of fifteen as many people become sexually active at an even earlier age. Simple common sense implies if...

...action, the woman in the relationship is identified as being dominant by her stance, clothing and positioning, it shows the male collecting his belongings and tries to reason with the woman and pleads to stay and he deliberately takes his time leaving, hoping for her to change her mind. However she is shown as an independent and brave woman and stands for what she said. The Representation of Gender for a women is strong and independent, standing her ground, standing up to her man after he is committed of infidelity. This song and the music video challenge the stereotypical conventions of womenbeing the weaker sex, by portraying the woman as the more dominant and forceful character.
Whereas In the 50cent music video, it falls under various genres such as: Hip-Hop/Rap, Music, East Coast Rap, Hard-core Rap, Gangsta Rap. As a gangster music video It very conventionally shows the women in a less dominant aspect as they are shown as a sex object of the men who attract attention by wearing revealing clothing and behave in manner to please the men.
